IntroductionNone but Heroes is a Line of Battle

Seriesgame covering the Battle of Antietam

(Sharpsburg) on 17 September 1862 with

an option to play on until the rains begin

on the 18th.

I hope this effort does justice to the

memory of the many thousands of souls,

on both sides, that suffered and died in this

vicious act of heroic patriotism.

1.0 General SpecialRules1.1 Terrain and Map

Notes 1.1a The Sunken Roads. There are

two of these: “The Sunken Road” (the one

everyone thinks of as such) and the Otto

Lane. Sunken Roads act as a protective

trench only for fires entering across the

hexsides (including their corners) marked

with the fence, but provide no protection

for fires coming through other hexsides.

The fence itself has no additional effect.

Confederate infantry occupying the road

moved the rails from the south side of the

road to reinforce the north side of the road

after they occupied the position. I have

pre-loaded them on the north side to mark

the functional direction of the defensive

position. The lay of the land precludes

the usefulness of the Sunken Road when

defending against the enemy coming from

the south.

The Otto Lane was sunken

in places at the time

of the battle, but is of lesser usefulness than THE

Sunken Road in the center

of the line.

The main Sunken Road

in 1877.

1.1b Fords & Ford Crossing Points.

With the exception of bridges, these are

the only places where Antietam Creek can

be crossed. Crossing is allowed only where

the Ford Crossing Point symbol is marked

on the River Hexside symbol.

Some critics (usually of Burnside) believe

the Antietam could be forded at most any

point though the Army of the Potomac

engineers who examined the creek

concluded that few usable fords existed for

large bodies of organized troops to cross. I have gone with the opinion of the experts

on the scene though you may optionally

choose to find out what the battle would

have been like had the critics been correct.

If you do so, treat the entire Antietam Creek

as “Creek” terrain instead of River.

1.1c The C&O Canal and Towpath.

The canal (only shown in the north-west

corner of the map) is crossable at all points

(given the location of the River hexsides of

the Potomac). The towpath is just another

track.

1.1d Bridges & Roads. Only three

bridges cross the Antietam on the map (the

Upper, Middle and Lower Bridges). These

are shown literally. There are no bridges on

the Potomac or for the Chesapeake & Ohio

Canal.

None but Heroes, LoB #1

1.1eRock Outcrops.These are nothing

more than exposed bits of the limestone

bedrock. They have no effect on play.

1.1f Rock Ledges. These act as Stone

Walls except that they only have one

direction. The protected side is the side of

the symbol (for experienced players, this

is the side that looks like the “down slope”

side). See the example on the Terrain Key onMap B for an illustration of the directional

properties of Rock Ledges.

1.1g The Quarry Pits. These pits in the

hillsides overlooking the Lower Bridge

(frequently misidentified as “rifle pits”)

are the remains of the quarries where the

limestone used to make the bridge was

mined. They exist in the hills on both

sides of the Antietam. They function as

all-around trenches for any unit occupying

their hexes.

Design Note: Many thanks to Tom Shay’sreporting on his terrain walks of the field

which brought to light the newly discovered

quarry pits on the eastern bank of the

creek.

1.1h The Cornfield. Miller’s Cornfield

(and all the others) apply LoB rule 1.7f and

have no effect on play. Additionally, it is

important to note that on the morning of

the 17th, Miller’s Cornfield is considered to

be part of the Confederate defensive lines

south of it (meaning Ewell and Jackson’s

Divisions can counterattack into it without

additional orders while following LoB rule10.7b).

There is no LOS blockage as the result

of cornfield(s). The famous “gleam of

bayonets” quote from Hooker involved

the Confederate skirmishers in Miller’s

Cornfield before the battle began. Once the

fighting entered the field, the corn became

a non-factor almost instantly. Furthermore,

19th century farming practices were very

different from the modern ones. Corn was

planted in clumps, checkerboard fashion

with walkways in both directions. Not to

mention the corn was not the genetically“enhanced” Franken-corn available today.

Much of the actual LOS effects of Miller’s

Cornfield come not from the corn, but from

the lay of the ground. The latter is carefully

recorded here in the Crests appearing in

that area.

For an in-depth look at the cornfield

obstacle myth, see Antietam Revealed by

Dennis Frye, pg. 75, note 716.

1.1i Breastworks. Neither side can use

LoB rule 9.6 Breastworks. No Brestworks

markers are provided in this game as a

result.

The Confederates did not build any (besides

modestly improving the Sunken Road by

moving fence rails) because Lee wanted

to keep the freedom of offensive action.

The Union did not build any because theywere on the attack.

1.2 VictoryThere were a number of reasons, both

strategic and tactical, for the Confederates

to invade Maryland and the victory

conditions reflect them. Strategically,

a major victory, in light of constant

Confederate successes in the east in 1862,

might convince a European power to

recognize Southern independence. Also,

continued Confederate victories might

encourage Northern voters to install peace Democrats in the upcoming November

congressional elections.

Tactically, an invasion of Maryland took

the war out of Virginia and placed the

burden of supporting the armies on a

Northern state. If the Confederates could

sever the rail lines at Harpers Ferry and

Harrisburg, the eastern states would—at

least temporarily—be cut off from the west.

The Rebels also hoped that Marylanders

would flock to the Confederate flag. Finally,

by taking the war to the North, Confederate

leaders hoped to raise Southern morale,war weariness was taking its toll in spite

of a summer of victories.

There were risks involved by invading

Maryland. As the campaign began, Lee

was aware that an aura of invincibility

had developed over the Army of Northern

Virginia and that the belief of the invincibility

of Lee’s army would be further enhanced

with a successful battle against the Army of

the Potomac. However, a defeat that left the

appearance of the Rebel army ‘escaping’ to

Virginia would damage that psychological

advantage.

The Federals operated with the knowledge

that with the defeat of the Army of the

Potomac, the Confederates will be free to

continue their invasion further north or even

to Washington. Finally, Abraham Lincoln

is waiting for an opportunity to issue the

Emancipation Proclamation and change

the face of the war forever. A victory by

the Army of the Potomac would give him

that opportunity.

The victory conditions reflect the high stakes

of the Confederate invasion. Simply put, the

Confederates “win” if they can continue the

Maryland Campaign and “lose” if they are

forced to not only give up the campaign, but

do so as the result of defeat in battle (i.e. not

under their own terms). The Union “wins”

if it succeeds in forcing the Confederates

to abandon the Maryland Campaign and

“loses” if it fails to do so. So, “winning” for the Federals is a combination of

forcing an end to the Rebel campaign and

retaining the safe keeping of the Army of

the Potomac. McClellan cannot afford to

allow the ruination of his army.

1.2a Strategic Victory. The Union

“wins” if the Confederates declare a

withdrawal to the south before the game

ends and at least one Union Corps is

“uncommitted” (see 1.2e).

The Confederates “win” if they:

A) Remain on the field until the game

ends;

OR

B) Can withdraw to the north (via the

Hagerstown Pike, only) before the

game ends;

AND (with either of the above):

C) The Union has no uncommitted corps

at the end of the game.

The only two combinations of the

above that win for the Confederates are A

and C or B and C.

Requirement C must exist for the

Confederates to get a Strategic Win.

If the Confederates attempt to

withdraw to the north, they must physically

do so with all remaining units before the

game ends; “withdrawals to the south” can

simply be declared.

Any other result is a Strategic Draw,

which is further resolved on the tacticallevel.

Historically, the battle was a strategic

draw: Lee remained on the field until after

the rains on 18 September, but McClellan

retained one uncommitted corps.





The Gamers, Inc.

1.2b Tactical Victory. There are three

tactical victory locations on the map: 1)

the hill just east of the Dunkard Church, 2)

Cemetery Hill, and 3) the Sunken Road. The

player who controls (occupies exclusively

or was the last to move through) all three

of these locations is the tactical winner.

Any other result is a draw. Note that if the

issue is in doubt at all (a player controls all

but one hex of a hill, etc.), the hill can beclaimed by neither player. If you are on the

verge of taking a feature, take all of it—and

then some—if you want to win!

Historically, the Union controlled the

Dunkard Church hill and the Sunken Road,

but not Cemetery Hill, so it was a draw.

1.2c Sudden Death Victory. Should

R.E. Lee become killed or captured (1.2d),

the Confederates automatically lose a

strategic victory, regardless of the situation.

This does not occur if Lee is wounded.

The same applies if McClellan iskilled, but there is no “McClellan capture”

provision such as there is with Lee.

1.2d Capturing Lee. Every so often

you’ll run into a player who watches the

Army of Northern Virginia being destroyed,

but still refuses to announce a withdrawal

to Virginia in an attempt to thwart victory

conditions. If the Union player has taken all

three tactical victory locations and Entry

Areas H and J, Lee has been captured and

the Sudden Death conditions are fulfilled.

1.2e Uncommitted Union Corps. An“uncommitted” Union Corps is one that

was never issued an Attack order. Lack

of acceptance (or even a Distortion result)

does not change the fact that the order was

issued as an Attack order.

Historically, only the Union 5 th Corps was

uncommitted. The 6 th Corps was ordered

to attack, but that order was retracted by

McClellan and Sumner (but not before one

of its divisions became engaged). Note that

being uncommitted has nothing to do with

casualties, but only with the orders the

corps has been given.

1.3 The 18th of

September: The Day

AfterAside from the smaller scenarios, all

set ups optionally allow play to continue

into the 18th. Players must decide on ending

the game on the 17th (using the scenario end

turn) or to continue on through the next

day before beginning play (in other words,

before a player finds he desperately needs

a few more turns to win).

If the latter is chosen, the game will

end according to the following rules:

1.3a Start of the Rains. Roll one die

at the start of each turn beginning at 2:30

p.m. on the 18th. If the roll is a 1, the rain

begins and the game ends. Determine the

victor. The cannons are quiet; the skies are

not.

On any other roll, the game continues

(for this turn at least). Roll again at the

beginning of the next turn.

1.3b If No Rain Comes. It is possible

that the rain may never start. In that case,

the game ends at sunset (last daytime turn)

on the 18th.

1.4 Seniority 1.4a Army Commanders. Should

McClellan or Lee be killed, neither officer

is replaced. If this happens, see 1.2c and

1.2d. If either is wounded, replace him with

the senior leader available.

1.4b Other Leaders. Other leaders are

replaced by the senior commander of the

same Command.

Exception:Winfield Hancockcan be used

to take over a division in any corps.

Seniority listed at the end of the booklet

is by Command with the dates of rank in

case they are needed. Seniority only applies

at the Brigadier General level and above,

if you are choosing between Colonels or

below, feel free to pick the best one. The

list does not include artillery leaders as

they are not allowed to take over infantry

Commands.

Historical Notes: Both Mansfield and

Richardson are frequently listed as

Major Generals but were only Brigadiers

at Antietam. Both were posthumously

promoted with dates of rank backdated to

July 1862. This has been the source of some

confusion. They are both shown here with

their actual rank on the day of the battle.

Hoffman vs. Hofmann. You’ll see it both

ways, officially and unofficially. In the case

here, I went with the spelling used by his

own hand in signing his application to join

the GAR (Hoffman). Apparently, even his

tombstone has it as Hofmann.

J.R. Jones is serving as a Brigadier General

here, but was never actually confirmed to

that rank by the Confederate Congress.

2.0 Union Special

Rules2.1 McClellan & Army

CommandWhile typically faulted over the years

for failing to commit the Army of the

Potomac fully to the battle, McClellan’s

real failing was in the lack of direction and

coordination given to the army during the

battle. All but the 5th Corps and the rest of

the Cavalry were actually committed tothe battle (6 th Corps being a special case)

and his responsibility to not “lose the war

in an afternoon” precluded expending his

last reserves.

Where George B. McClellan failed terribly

was in not giving his subordinates a clear

idea of what he wanted them to accomplish

(even in his report written months later he

still couldn’t pull it off) and he provided

no effective coordination of their efforts.

The Army of the Potomac made piecemeal

attacks at all levels.

George B. McClellan.






2.1a Limits on Order Issue. McClellan

cannot issue orders to divisions

Exception: He can issue one order to the

Cavalry Division per day.

McClellan cannot issue any orders

until 7:15 a.m. on the 17th (he is still asleep).

This restriction does not affect pregame

orders (2.1d).McClellancan issue onlythreeAttack

orders on the second day (the 18th) of the

battle. There are no restrictions on what

these orders are or do, except that, as always,

only one Command can be addressed in

each.

2.1b Army Reserves. In addition to

the need to retain one uncommitted corps

to fulfill the victory conditions, McClellan

must retain a minimum of 6 infantry

divisions east of the Antietam until 10:00

a.m. on the 17th. Any combination of

corps or parts of corps can be used tofulfill this condition, given the restrictions

below. 10:00 a.m. cannot be used as the

“condition” for a Conditional order ( LoB

10.7d).

If a corps is ordered forward before

10:00 a.m., but must leave one or more

divisions behind to satisfy the above,

those divisions can start following the

corps order at 10:00 a.m. or when replaced

by reinforcements—they do not need

additional orders to do so.

9th Corps can be ordered to attack

before 10:00 a.m. provided none of itsdivisions actually cross the Antietam before

that time.

Historically, Burnside was issued orders to

attack at 9:10 a.m.. Obviously, he wasn’t

across the creek before 10.

No more than one corps can ever be

in this “some attacking, others in waiting”

status at one time. For example, it is not

permitted to issue orders to 2 nd and 9thCorps

to attack, with each Corps starting with

one division and leaving the rest waiting

for 10:00.

Historically, 9th and 2nd Corps fulfilled 2.1b

until Sumner begged his way into orders at

7:20 a.m. Sumner left Richardson’s division

in place (which would then be added to the

5th Corps division available to still fulfill the

requirement) until Morell arrived at 9:30

a.m. At that point, Richardson could leave

to rejoin 2nd Corps.

2.1c Union Leader Initiative. To roll for

Initiative, a leader must belong to a corps

that has a currently Accepted Attack order.

See also 2.4.

2.1dPre-Game Order.One corps can be

given orders before the game begins. This

order is already Accepted on the first turn

(this is an exception to LoB rule 10.7d).

If this corps happens to be Hooker’s1st Corps, then the player gets the ‘two-for-

one’ deal, see 2.2a.

2.2 Corps Command

Issues 2.2a Hooker: Hair on Fire. Joe Hooker

launched into the Confederate left flank

unsupported even though he specifically

requested 12th Corps to be on-hand to assist

him the night before (he feared that the

Confederates would “eat him up”). Should

the player select 1st Corps for his pre-game

order (2.1d), once 12th

Corps is all or in parton the map, Hooker can request 12th Corps

to attack in his support (this is accepted

instantly).

Joseph Fighting Joe Hooker

2.2b Burnside: McClellan’s Old Friend.

Orders for 9th Corps must be issued to

Burnside. Follow the normal procedures,

including any delay.

The turn after Burnside accepts the

order, Cox is assumed to get the same order

and starts trying to accept it himself (using

his own and McClellan’s ratings). Other

than the hand-off to Cox, nothing happens

with 9th Corps when Burnside accepts theorder. Once Cox accepts the order, the order

directs 9th Corps normally. If Burnside gets

a Distortion result, nothing happens except

the order is thrown away.

While Burnside has been thrown under

the bus for his conduct of his part of the

battle (by McClellan, of all people, who

had his own bacon to save), Burnside did

his job within reason, if not particularly

energetically. What did happen to 9th Corps

is a hold-over of the command confusion

generated by McClellan’s revocation of

the wing structure used in the days beforethe battle. To show this, Burnside acts as

an extra—pointless—level of command

between McClellan and Cox (who is

actually in command of the corps).

Ambrose E. Burnside





The Gamers, Inc.

2.2cThe Bridge.9th Corps cannot cross

the Antietam Creek north of the Lower

Bridge.

In testing it was found to be way too

appealing (and easy) to shift 9th Corps

north to cross at the Middle Bridge and

clear the Lower Bridge from the north (or

attack elsewhere). The historical limitations

are reflected in the above. This rule can beoptionally ignored if both players agree.

Since this is one of the rare times

when a player may have to force a bridge

into an EZOC, here is a quick outline of

the way the series rules will address it (the

ramifications of LoB rules 3.0a and 3.1a).

A single regiment in column must:

1) Make a successful Closing Roll.

2) Stop just past the bridge in the

EZOC.

3) Remain in column until the next turn

(suffering enemy fires with the RearFire shifts).

4) Not stack.

If the regiment is still there in the next

friendly player turn, it can flip to Line and

allow another regiment to follow the above.

This process will continue until there is no

longer an EZOC in the hex just past the

bridge.

The Bridge from the Confederate defensive

position.

2.2d 2nd Corps slips the Reins. If

2nd Corps gets a Distortion result in its

first Attack order of the game, apply the

following:

1) The enemy can issue the corps an

Attack order.

2) It can designate one of the 2nd Corps

divisions to attack specifically ina way or location that makes no

sense given the actual situation.

This division cannot use Initiative

to get out of this order.

3) The other divisions (not designated

in #2) must follow that division

across the creek and then attack in

a way and location that does make

sense to the Union player (his

choice at the moment the order is

Distorted). If a 2nd Corps division is

not yet released from Army Reserve

(2.1b), it follows the above when it

is released.4) #2 ceases to exist the Union player

turn after either a Confederate unit

Charges a stack of that division

OR the first divisional unit is

wrecked.

Historically, 2 Corps got a Distorted result

and issued the following as its order:

1/2 is to attack due west

from Pry’s Ford to the

West Woods in order to

capture the West Woods.

It must do so with itsregiments in line by

brigade, one brigade per

hex row so the division is

no more than three hexes

deep. All units must face

due west.

2/2 is to await the arrival

of 1/5 and once relieved

in place, cross Pry Ford,

attack to the left of 3/2’s

location at that time, and

assist in the capture of the

Sunken Road.

3/2 is to cross after 1/2 and attack the

western half of the Sunken Road.

2.3 The Artillery

Reserve Normally lumped in with 5th Corps, the

Artillery Reserve was actually accountable

to Army Headquarters. Henry Hunt—of

earlier and later fame with the Army

of the Potomac’s artillery—is currently

the “Chief of Artillery” with no real

operational authority. Colonel Hays is the field commander at Sharpsburg.

2.3a Location. The Artillery Reserve

hR and hH batteries must stay east of the

Antietam Creek. The smaller Artillery

Reserve gun units can be posted (by Hays

or any Union divisional/corps commander)

anywhere on the map.

2.3b Ammunition: The Big Guns (20-

lb Parrotts, hRs). They can only replenish

from the specific hR ammunition available

via Entry Area F (2.7b). Track these

Ammo Points separately from the normalammunition and they cannot be used by

any other battery types.

Historically, they used up their ammunition

during the battle and an emergency train load

of 2,500 rounds was shipped to McClellan

(via Harrisburg and Hagerstown) which did

not arrive until the night of the 18 th.

2.3c Colonel Hays. Col. Hays is the

commander of the army’s Artillery Reserve.

He is the Union’s only Artillery Leader. He

can use his Artillery Leader abilities on any

Union battery (Exception: 2.8c).

2.4 The Cavalry

Division Pleasonton’s Cavalry Division was held in

reserve until late morning when it crossed

the Middle Bridge in order to provide

protection for its Horse Batteries which

had already been committed. Taken from

its normal screening and reconnaissance

role, nobody quite knew what to do with

them. McClellan even toyed with the idea

of a mounted cavalry charge. You are free

to experiment.

For all his organizational and training

skills, McClellan seemed to be at a loss as

to how to develop an effective cavalry arm.

It wasn’t until the reforms of Joe Hooker

(of all people) that it began to resemble the

powerful mounted arm of late 1863—which

itself was a mere shadow of the force it

became in 1864 and 1865.






McClellan can only give Pleasonton

one order per historical day. The cavalry

doesn’t count for (or against) the required

uncommitted corps for victory (1.2e).

Pleasonton cannot use Initiative.

Design Note: The cavalry units themselves

come in a number of different flavors. There

are some that cannot fight dismounted,others than can dismount but only into a

Line formation and still others that can

dismount into full Open Order status. This

shows the various levels of training and

weaponry available. Also, some cavalry

regiments are split in parts based on the

numbers of carbines available.

Many thanks to Curtis Baer, Larry Freiheit,

and Eric Wittenberg for information

regarding the arms of various cavalry units

at the company level and their training used

to show the development of the cavalry arm

at this stage of the war.

2.5 Command Creation The Union player can create new

Commands.

2.6 Green RegimentsOne of the little considered, yet quite

important, features of the battle was the

percentage of the Army of the Potomac

consisting of raw-recruit units. These

regiments (between one (!) and four weeks

old) were brought into the army to rebuild it

after the disasters of the summer. Many knewlittle about military life, drill, and most had

never fired their weapons (some were never

even trained to load them). These large and

clumsy units need special rules.

While it may seem odd, not all Green

Regiments suffer from terrible morale.

These men, while untrained, were also

proud and determined to do their best.

In fact, one of the “two week old” green

regiments is the 20th Maine of Gettysburg

fame.

2.6a Identification. Green Regiments

have a Green Box indicator on their

counter.

2.6b Restrict ions. There are

several special requirements for Green

Regiments:

1) If split into multiple counters, each

counter must end each friendly

Activity Phase adjacent to at least

one other counter of the same

regiment (an exception to LoB

1.3b). If this is not possible, allpartsare automatically DG (if already

DG or Routed, they stay the way

they are). They cannot Rally better

than DG until they are back together

again (if that is the case, they Rally

normally).

2) They have a Line Movement

Allowance of 4, not 6. They have

a normal MA in Column.

3) It costs all of their MA to change

formation.

4) Green Regiments can freelyclose with

enemy units (no Closing Roll).

5) They cannot initiate a Charge unless Blood Lusted. If they do manage

to pull that off and win, then they

forego all remaining MA after

entering the defender’s hex and

automatically trade their BL for a

DG marker.

6) They can never move and fire in the

same phase (other than the rare

possibility of a Charge in #5).

7) Green Regiments never provide an

Opening Volley.

8) Green Regiments cannot recover

losses.

9) When stacked with “non-Green”combat units, a Green unit must be

on top.

2.7 SupplyThe main ordnance trains are just off-map

at Keedysville. This led to supply difficulties

in the reasonably well-supplied Army of

the Potomac. Additionally, the 1st and

12th Corps pre-positioned their ordnance

trains just north of the map at the George

Line farm.

2.7a The only available ammunition

is located off the map via Entry Areas

C, D and F. These locations can be used

by any Union battery. There is no other

replenishment capability.

2.7b The Main Trains. To replenish

“by Battery” here, a battery must exit the

map via Entry Area F, get refilled and it

returns two turns later as a reinforcement

via Entry Area F.

2.7c The Forward Trains. To replenish

“by Battery” here, a battery must exitthe map via Entry Area C or D, get

replenished and it returns two turns later

as a reinforcement via Entry Area C or

D.

2.7d “By Caisson” Replenishment.

Both of the locations above can be used

for “by Caisson” replenishment.

The Main Trains allow “by Caisson”

replenishment for any Union battery east

of the Antietam (at any range in MPs, the

other requirements of LoB 8.4 stand) if a

path to Entry Area F exists. There is no

“by Caisson” replenishment available to

any battery west of the Antietam from this

source.

The Forward Trains can be used for

“by caisson” replenishment of any Union

battery satisfying LoB 8.4 (including the

25 MP range requirement) counting from

Entry Area C or D.

2.7e hR batteries must follow the

special rule regarding them, 2.3b.

2.7f Ammunition cannot be moved

from one location to the other. Once the

northern location is empty, the only artillery

ammunition available is in Keedysville

(Entry Area F).

2.8 Artillery

Organization Artillery organization development in the

Army of the Potomac suffered a setback

as the Maryland Campaign began and

the Army of Virginia and Army of the

Potomac merged into one on the march

to Antietam.

If anything, the fine organization that

Henry Hunt began on the Peninsula (and

would perfect by Gettysburg) took a step

backwards in this emergency.

2.8a There are artillery batteries

assigned to divisions, corps and even

brigades here. Use them as any unit of their

parent formation.

2.8b Batteries can be “posted” ( LoB

rule 9.1c) by the corps commander and

divisional commanders of their corps.

2.8c 12th Corps. In an exception to 2.8a

& 2.8b, 12th Corps artillery batteries can

onlybe moved by posting them by thecorps

commander himself (even Col. Hays, 2.3e,

cannot do so) and cannot simply “float

around” inside corps Command Radius.

They must be posted to specific hexes

whenever they are to unlimber (but can

follow in Command Radius if limbered).

Design Note: Of all the corps, “Banks’

Command” (12th Corps) had the least

flexible artillery organization (even though

it seems more so because its batteries areassigned to the corps HQ). Mansfield, new

to field command, insisted on posting the

batteries (and infantry regiments, for that

matter) personally.

3.0 Confederate

Special Rules3.1 Lee and General

Army Command Lee hurt both his hands and wrists in a fall

from his horse at Second Manassas. As a

result, his mobility is severely reduced.

While able to ride, his horse had to be led

by an aide on foot.

3.1aMovement. Lee moves as a leader

with an MA of 8. There are no additional

restrictions.

3.1b Lee, Longstreet, Jackson &

Orders. Everyone in the Army of Northern

Virginia knew this day was an emergency

and reacted accordingly. All three leaders

can issue orders (like Army Commanders)

(see also the limitations in 3.3).

3.1c Initiative. All Confederate

Division and lower leaders can use

Initiative. Exception: 3.3a.

Longstreet and Jackson are allowed to

use Initiative. They can do so the same turn

they issue orders. Their Initiative can only

be applied to a leader stacked with them.

Confederate leaders can, in exception

to LoB rule 10.10b, use Initiative to issue

any kind of Move or Attack order.

3.1dPosting Authority.Lee, Longstreet,

and Jackson can post any artillery battery as

per LoBrule 9.1c. Division commanders can

post batteries from any Artillery Battalion

linked to their division. See also 3.11.

3.2 Jackson &

Longstreet’s

CommandsThe Army of Northern Virginia did not

adopt a formal corps structure until after

the battle.

There are no Confederate Corps HQs.

Each division and Artillery Battalion is its

own Command (see also 3.11).

Except for divisions listed in 3.3,

Longstreet and Jackson can give orders to

any Command. Lee can, of course, issue

orders to anyone in the Army of Northern

Virginia. Should Lee become wounded and

one of these officers takes over the army,

the new army commander can issue orders

to the units listed in 3.3.

3.3 Unattached

Divisions and Special

Command Rules During the Maryland Campaign, Lee

contemplated a three corps structure,

but could not decide on a third corps

level commander. The logical choice

was D.H. Hill, but Lee did not care for

Hill, or “Croaker” as he called him. As

a result the divisions of what was called

the “reinforcing column” were neither

assigned to the existing commands nor to

a third corps.

The divisions in question are D.H. Hill

(including Pierson’s Artillery Bn), R.H.

Anderson, McLaws (including Cabell’s Artillery Bn), and Walker.

These Commands can only take orders

directly from Lee, or from their own

commanders’ Initiative.

Jackson and Longstreet cannot give them

orders, unless one of them takes over as

army commander.

While not part of the “reinforcing column”

Evans’ Brigade is subject to the same

restrictions. (see 3.4b)

3.3a McLaws and the

Sandman.When McLaws

Division Accepts its first

orders after arriving in

play, roll one die. On a

5-6, everything proceeds

normally. On a roll of

1-4, the division (all

elements, including the HQ) follows the

orders normally, but McLaws (himself)

cannot leave his hex. Roll again each turn

until you get a 5 or a 6 which releases him.

Once released, he starts to do his job as a

normal leader.

Important: Prior to this release, McLaws

cannot use his Initiative to get orders.

For all purposes where a Command

Leader Value is needed (Fluke Stoppage,

Order Acceptance, whatever), use McLaws’

values, even though he is still asleep.

Use the “Sandman” marker atop

McLaws to indicate he is asleep.






After the early morning march to Sharpsburg,

McLaws and his division went to sleep in

the tall grass just west of Sharpsburg while

awaiting orders. Orders from Lee came

sending the division to the West Woods.

The division formed up and marched off.

Lafayette McLaws, however, could not be

found in the grass, so the division marched

without him. Major Walter Taylor of Lee’s

staff found him after about an hour, wokehim, explained that the division was ordered

forward under the command of McLaws’

adjutant, and the general sheepishly set out

to find his command, arriving just before it

assaulted the West Woods.

3.4 Toombs & EvansTwo Confederate leaders are under the

impression that they are still division

commanders, Toombs and Evans. Each is

handled differently as each approached his

situation differently.

3.4a Toombs. Toombs acted as a

second division commander in D.R. Jones’

Division. He commands, as a division

commander, any grouping of brigades

or units from Jones’ division the player

desires using his Toombs HQ marker. It

takes no orders to transfer units into or out

of Toombs’ “Division” and the scenario

states which units begin the game as part

of it. The Toombs HQ uses a Divisional

level Command Radius (8 MPs).

Should Toombs get wounded,

captured or killed, remove the Toombs HQ

marker and all assigned units must return

to their original Command’s CommandRadius (even posted artillery). There is no

replacement leader possible that can keep

this organization intact; it goes away with

him.

3.4b Evans. Unlike Toombs, Evans

considered himself a division commander

with only one brigade. In his case, for

simplicity, only Evans is shown as a leader

of the brigade. He can call it a division if

he wants, but for our purposes, it is just

another brigade.

Evans, however, will only take orders

from R.E. Lee or his own Initiative.

3.5 John R. CookeCol. Cooke can command his regiment

(27 NC) and any other single regiment the

player desires. Once this “mini-brigade”

is established, it remains as such for the

rest of the game and both regiments need

only trace Command Radius to Cooke

himself—while Cooke need not trace up

to anyone else. The regiment assigned to

Cooke cannot be changed later or replaced

should it get destroyed. Cooke’s command

can function as desired without any orders.

Cooke’s command cannot serve as any

formation’s reserve and if Cooke is killed,

captured, or wounded each regiment must

return to its original Command Radius.

J.R. Cooke ended up being in charge of his

own and the 3rd Arkansas Regiment. He

led them across the rear of the divisionsattacking the Sunken Road from the

heights near the Dunkard Church. He had

an amazing day and needs to be singled

out here.

John R. Cooke

3.6 The Cavalry

DivisionStuart’s cavalry never operated as a

complete division during the battle.

Munford’s Brigade spent the battle watching

the lower Antietam crossings, Hampton and

Fitz Lee (reinforced by the errant 7 Va Cav)

operated loosely together covering the left

flank and made the abortive march to flank

the Union army.

3.6a Command Radius. The three

brigades operate as independent commands

with their own command HQs and do not

have to be in Command Radius of the

Divisional HQ. However, the player is

free to assign units to the Divisional HQ

following the same procedures as Toombs

(3.4a). Scenarios start with a list of units

that are already assigned directly to Stuart’s

command, if any.

Should Stuart get wounded, captured

or killed, all assigned units from Commands

other than the Cavalry Division must return

to their original Command Radius (even

posted artillery).

3.6b Munford’s Pickets. There are

three cavalry regiments in Munford’s

(Robertson’s) Cavalry Brigade. The 7th Va is

explained below. The remaining two are the

2nd and 12th Va Cavalry Regiments. These

two regiments are screening the Antietam

from about Snavely’s Ford to the Antietam

Furnace (about a mile south of the map). They

are represented by a handful of “picket” units

(about a company or so each).

Historical Note (the 7th Va Cav): The 7 VaCav Rgt spent a lonely night camped a mile

or so behind the Union army’s right flank (at

Ground Squirrel Church) before the battle.

Noticing its predicament, it carefully withdrew

on the morning of the 17th and linked up with

Fitz Lee’s Brigade for the rest of the day. It

entered the map dismounted as its horses were

left to graze at the Coff man Farm before its

little adventure. They would be able to pick

them up immediately upon entering play, so it

is not worth showing the unit as temporarily

dismounted. Even more oddly, the rest of this

regiment’s brigade (Munford’s) is covering

the Antietam Creek on the far Confederateright (so much so, that it is represented in

only token form (3.6b) here).

3.7 Command Creation The Confederate player can create

Commands in addition to the special

circumstances specified in 3.4a and 3.6a.

Play Note : It is unlikely the Confederate player

will need to do so as he already has a large

number of subordinate Commands.

3.8 ConfederateArtillery AmmunitionThe Confederate Reserve Ordnance Trains

were located in a very confusing mass just

off the map southwest of Sharpsburg. All

non-ordnance trains were ordered across the

Potomac to free the army for future movement.

The “Commands” do not have separate

Wagons. Additionally, Longstreet’s Reserve

Ammunition trains had been captured further

reducing the army’s already meager stocks.

3.8a Confederate batteries must use “by

Battery” replenishment. They replenish by

exiting the map via Entry Area K.Roll one die when they exit. The result is

the number of daytime hours in the future the

battery returns (via Entry Area K) replenished.

The daytime requirement is important—when

determining when the battery returns, simply

skip all night & twilight turns (so no free lunch

on the night of the 17th).

3.8b Deduct the Ammo Points issued

to a battery at the time the battery leaves the

map before the die is rolled to see when it

returns.





The Gamers, Inc.

3.9 A.P. Hill’s March &

ArrivalOne issue of the battle that has been

overlooked because of the dramatic way

events turned out is the conduct of A.P.

Hill’s storied march from Harpers Ferry

to arrive at the culminating moment of the

battle. It was this result that precluded muchcritical examination. Dr. Harsh identified

three problems with Hill’s march that have

been swept under the carpet.

The Route. Unlike the routes traveled by

other divisions marching from Harpers

Ferry to Sharpsburg (McLaws, Walker,

and R.H. Anderson), Hill selected the one

hugging the river. Experimental field work

in the process of making this game revealed

that the rest of the divisions marched almost

exactly the same distance as Hill’s men

(from Harpers Ferry to Boteler’s Ford), but

along a much easier road. Hill’s route wasthe very worst to march on of those used to

get to Sharpsburg.

Straggling.Hill started the campaign under

arrest for violating Stonewall Jackson’s

dictates on taking 10 minute march breaks

each hour and for setting too fast a pace.

It is very likely that he did the same under

the emergency on the 17 th. The penalty for

this excess was the number of stragglers his

division dropped along the way. By way of

comparison, the Union 6 th Corps marched a

similar distance from Pleasant Valley and arrived intact for the battle. Hill shed 40%

of his strength this way.

Departure Preparations. Hill took an hour

to break camp, form up, and get on the road

on the morning of the 17 th. Not unreasonable

by itself, but Hill was aware that he should

expect orders to march on Sharpsburg and

that when this order came, time would be

of the essence. The hour lost that morning

shows that Hill had not gotten his troops

ready in advance of the expected orders.

Knowing the importance of the march,

advanced preparation would be the normal action to take and many commanders

would have even taken it upon themselves

to actually start the march early.

These rules allow for variability in these

factors.

There are two versions of each combat

unit of A.P. Hill’s Light (Lght) Division.

The historical version (no Red Border) is

the one with the smaller SP numbers. The

optional one (used in 3.9b) is the one with

the larger SP values and a Red Border on

the counter. Both versions use the same set

of leaders and divisional HQ.

3.9a Arrival Time. Players shouldchoose to use either the variable or historical

version before play. If you choose the

historical version, simply follow the times

listed on the Order of Arrival. If using the

Variable Arrival, use the A.P. Hill Variable

Arrival Table to determine when Hill’s

troops enter.

3.9b More Careful Marching (Optional) .

Here the assumption is that Hill’s division

made a more efficient march on the 17th. As

such, it arrives with more of the strength it

had (and Lee expected) when it left Harpers

Ferry. Use the Red Border version of eachLight (Lght) Division combat unit.

These options can only be used if both

players agree to it before the game begins.

They are here as a what-ifs, but can be used

as a balancing tool, if desired.

3.10 Ad Hoc Units &

Non-Battle Stragglers Both D.H. Hill and Lee’s staff produced ad

hoc combat units from men separated from

their commands. These amounted to two

regiments of 200 men each. Hill personally

led the one he formed into battle.

Also, something between 3,000 and

6,000 men who could not keep up with

the movements of troops northward from

Harpers Ferry arrived during the night of

the 17 th to fill in the ranks of R.H. Anderson,

McLaws, A.P. Hill, and Walker’s Divisions.

I chose the middle of the road number of

4,500 and allocated 2,000 directly to A.P.

Hill’s division.

3.10a Ad Hoc Regiments. At any time

after 12:00 noon on the 17th, Lee and/or

D.H. Hill can recruit up to two Ad Hoc

Regiments in their hex by announcing the

intention in the Command Phase. Each

leader can build one such unit per turn.

There are four Ad Hoc Regiments in the

game, randomly draw one when the leader

makes the announcement and place that

unit in the leader’s hex. Once on the map,

the regiment is free to be used as desired

and has no Command Radius to be within

or orders needed (a completely free unit).

The Ad Hoc Regiment need not stay with

Ambrose P. Hill






the leader that made it. Ad Hoc Regiments

are automatically removed from play at

nightfall on the 17th.

3.10b The March Losses. At 5:00 a.m.

on the 18th, the Confederate player awards

his march losses. He gets 50 strength

points to distribute to re-fill the units of

R.H. Anderson, McLaws and Walker as

desired. At the most, they can refill up totheir printed strength Their units can be

brought back from the Dead Pile. Any SPs

remaining after all units in those divisions

have been rebuilt to full printed strength

are wasted. These SPs cannot be used for

artillery units. They are in addition to any

Losses Recovered using LoB rule 9.4.

3.10c The March Losses & A.P. Hill’sDivision. If 3.9b is used, there are no

replacement SPs for A.P. Hill’s division.

If 3.9b was not used, bring all of A.P.

Hill’s regiments up to their Red Border

versions at 5:00 a.m. on the 18th, retainingany losses. For example, the 7 NC of

Branch’s Brigade has a Red version strength

of 5. If the non-Red version suffered one SP

loss, then replace it with the Red version at

a strength of 4 SPs.

3.11 Ghost Posting

AuthorityWhile the Confederates have developed

the quite effective Artillery Battalion

organization they would use successfully

for the rest of the war, there seems to have

been some doctrinal confusion as to thebattalion commander’s role.

The intention was to put the guns under

well-trained artillerists on the field. In

practice, this was the case in only some

of the battalions (shown in the game with

both an Artillery Leader and an Artillery

Battalion HQ). In others, the commanders

seem to have chosen a “hands off” role of

rear area advisor (following the example of

William Pendleton, army artillery chief).

Of the five officers in question, one (Cabell)

was merely too sick to function in his

position and spent the day at the side of

McLaws doing what little he could.

Two others (Courtney and Shumaker) seem

to have not gone to the field at all and

left their batteries to fend for themselves.

Courtney was court-martialed for this

selection and Shumaker was quietly gotten

rid of in the October reorganization.

The last two (Cutts and Jones) were

seemingly there, but did not exercise any

control over their units. Both battalions

were also under the nominal control of

D.H. Hill which may have been a factor

in their seeming non-leadership.

The five Artillery Battalions affected

by this rule (Cabell, Courtney, Cutts, H.P.

Jones and Shumaker) have no Artillery

Battalion HQ or leader.

The batteries of these battalions canonly be positioned using the Posting rule

( LoB9.1c) and, since their commanders are

not available, only the leaders listed on the

Ghost Posting Authority Chart are allowed

to actually do the necessary Posting.

When these batteries return from

replenishing ammunition, they can report

to any of the leaders that have Posting

Authority over them or return to the hex

they came from, as the player desires.

3.12 The “Stacked

with Wrecked” MoraleModifier (Optional) As noted earlier, everyone in the Confederate

army knew this day was an emergency and

what few troops remained in the ranks were

not about to give up no matter how bad

things got. This optional rule is available

for players who find the gradient too steep to

keep the Rebel army in the field until the end

of the day. Use it as a balancing mechanism

as Confederate players learn the ropes as

to how to pace their army. I suggest using

it until players get good enough that the

“Confederates seem to be having too easy

of a time.” That really means they chewoff only half their fingernails, but you get

the idea.

Do not apply the Wrecked Regiment in

target stack modifier to Confederate Morale

Checks. Even when this option is used, it

still applies to Union Morale Checks.

The Wrecked Regiment on top of

target stack modifier applies normally to

both sides.

4.0 Small

Scenarios

4.1 The Charge of the

Texas BrigadeThis very small scenario covers only

the attack of the Texas Brigade into the

Cornfield. Law’s Brigade is attacking the

Cornfield and East Woods outside the play

area to the east (less the 2nd and 11th Miss

Regiments which are riding the edge of the

play area). Likewise, the 21st and 35th NY

Regiments (following the 7th Wisc and 19th

Ind as they attack the Cornfield from the

west) were left out of the scenario as they did

not also advance. The Texans have already

smashed into the 2nd and 6th Wisconsin

Regiments south of the Cornfield.

It is a very simple short situation with

few units and is best used as a training scenario.

Don’t let the title fool you, both sides

have to attack to win this one!

Orders:

Victory ConditionsThe Confederates win if they take and

hold any hex north of Axx.21 (inclusive)

by the end of the scenario. The Union wins

otherwise. No hex in the A22.xx hexrow

counts for victory.

This is a tough one for the Confederates.

Historically, the Union won this scenario.

Only the 1 st Texas made it to the northern

edge of the Cornfield and was all but

destroyed in the attempt (its 82% loss was

the highest loss of any regiment at one time

in the entire war). Most of the Texas Brigade

turned to protect the flank of the advance

from the attack of the 7 th Wisc and 19th

Indiana (the Indiana Regiment’s temporary

commander (Col. Solomon Meredith was

unable to command because of “fatigue

and exposure” following the battle of South

Mountain), Lt.Col Alois O. Bachman, waskilled crossing the Hagerstown Pike in

the advance).

4.2 The Cornfield This small scenario covers the

intial attack by 1st Corps to drive the

Confederates out of Miller’s Cornfield

and take the Dunkard Church including

the counterattack by Hood’s Division that

ended it. It does not include the entry of 2nd

Corps, 12th Corps, Colquitt’s or Garland’s

Brigade into this area.It is of short length but is relatively

time consuming because it is (or should

be) all action with both sides fighting as

hard as they possibly can.

Options to Explore:

• How hard do both sides have to attack to

generate the rough historical losses of 50

SPs per side?

• If Jackson decides to launch an all out

attack on Hooker, how crippled will his

troops be by the time 12th Corps enters

the fight (just after the end of this little

scenario)?

Artillery Ammunition: None is available.

When batteries Deplete, they are out of that

kind of ammo for the duration.


Orders:

1) D’Aquin Battery (Courtney) is

to post itself in A9.19.

2) No other Confederate units have

accepted orders.

Victory ConditionsThe player that occupies A21.15 and

exclusively has units in the Cornfield wins.

Any other result is a draw.

Historically, this scenario was a draw (the

Union had cleared the Cornfield and was

the only side with units within it, but the

Confederates still occupied A21.15).

Design Note. Hex A21.15 is nothing special

in and of itself, but testing found that the

capture of the Dunkard Church (the original

victory condition) was not possible for theUnion so a draw was pretty much inevitable.

Using this point south of the Cornfield

forces the Union to strive for something

more than just defending in the Cornfield,

but which is also within the bounds of the

possible. This makes for a tense fight on

both sides. To even approach the historical

losses (roughly 50 SPs per side), you will

have to really increase the tempo of your

attacks (it is difficult to do).

4.3 The Sunken RoadThis scenario isolates the fighting to

take the Sunken Road. It is very straight

forward and as such makes for an excellent

starter scenario.

Options to Explore:

• Can 2nd Corps take the position much

before the historical time? Historically, itwas 11:30 to noon (recorded times vary).

While keeping losses down?

the counterattack by A.P. Hill’s Light

Division.

Historical Note: Units in the area but were

out of ammunition, did not participate

and were not in a location that protected

other units, or which were pulling out and

heading to the rear have been ommited

from this set up.

Options to Explore:

• Can Burnside do this?

• After doing it straight, try using 3.9b and

see what a difference the stronger Light

Division makes.

3) Elliott Battery (S.D. Lee) is to post itself

4) Parker and Woolfolk Batteries (S.D.

Lee) are to post themselves in B27.32.

Note that these batteries (and Elliott

above) are relieving H.P. Jones’

Artillery Battalion in this area (Jones

has already pulled out). I’m assuming

Woolfolk was able to send something

here as it was reforming with Parker after the morning’s fighting and S.D.

Lee did not account for the location

of all of the guns he brought back into

the fight in the later afternoon.

5) A.P. Hill’s Light Division is to

counterattack the 9th Corps. It can

do so freely within the box made by

the Harpers Ferry Road, the Lower

Bridge Road, and Bxx.08. (Attack)


accepted orders.

Reinforcements: Use Confederate Order

of Arrival

Victory ConditionsThis is an extremely tough one for the

Rebels to win. It is more an exercise just to

see how close things came that afternoon.

Essentially, Lee’s army was saved by the

Union attack petering out (Fluke Stoppage)

with a big assist from A.P. Hill’s flank attack.

The Union wins if they are attacking (still)

in Sharpsburg when the scenario ends. The

Confederates win this one if the Union fails

to do so. Any other result is a draw.

5.1 Day of Battle This is the main battle start.

Options to Explore:

• What effect does a Union attack startingin the middle or south have as opposed to

the historical northerly start?

• Can the Union win while keeping the

required corps uncommited and keeping

one corps pretty much out of the fight

(except for maybe one brigade)? That is

the full historical constraint.

Arrival


• 7 Va Cav is attached to Fitz Lee’s Bde.

• 13 Va (Erly/Ewell) can be outside its

Brigade Command Radius provided it traces

directly to Stuart’s Division HQ.

• The Repl in charge of Jackson’s Division is

Col. Grigsby, commander of the Stonewall

Brigade. Technically, he ranks Warren but

is inside the Stonewall Consolidated Brigade,

so the Repl stand in is done here to avoid

the historical inaccuracy of having Warren

in command.

• Early commands Ewell’s Division which at

this point consists of only his own brigade.

That force is cooperating with McLaws and

Walker to attack. Erly/Ewell traces Command

Radius to McL Division HQ.

• The rest of Ewell’s Division, without Erly/Ewell and its commander, is to remain in

place until ordered otherwise.

• Cobb/McL has wandered away from its

division and is now operating as part of D.H.

Hill’s Division and draws Command Radius

to its HQ.

• No unit has been assigned to J.R. Cooke

of Arrival







5.3 Early AfternoonThis scenario begins after the fighting

at the Sunken Road has ended and 9th

Corps has crossed the Lower Bridge while

Rodman’s Division is fording the creek

further south. The Confederate army is in

its mid-day crisis. Lee has begun to consider

an attack on the Union right. Franklin is

looking to McClellan for orders to attack.The dam is ready to break.

Options to Explore:

• Can Lee successfully attack to clear the

Hagarstown Pike allowing the Army of

Northern Virginia to escape to the north and

allow the campaign to continue?

• If 6th Corps were allowed to attack, could

the Confederate army be destroyed?

• Can 9th Corps not only take the Harpers

Ferry Road and Cemetery Hill, but also

successfully defend against A.P. Hill’s

counterattack?


First Turn: 1:00 p.m. Sept 17th








at full strength.


• 1st Corps, 2nd Corps, 9th Corps and 12th

Corps have already suffered Fluke Stoppage

and have not successfully accomplished

Attack Recovery. They have all been

Committed.





• Historically, The Iron Brigade was still

in the North Woods at 1:00 p.m. and is in

the process of being relieved by Gorman’sBrigade. I created the set up with this hand-

off already accomplished to avoid having

the player do the drill of moving these two

brigades about.

• BG Richardson was mortally wounded

within minutes of this scenario’s start.

Caldwell is currently in charge of 1/2. The

player can assign Hancock to command

it (as was done historically) after play

begins.

• Early commands Ewell’s Division which

at this point consists of only his own brigade

That force is cooperating with McLaws

Erly/Ewell and its commander, is to remain

of Arrival


5.4 The Day After…This scenario begins on the morning

of the day after the Battle of Antietam.

Historically, some Union troops shifted

position (much of that has already

happened) The day got off to a slow start

as McClellan awaited the arrival of new

troops (Humphrey’s Division), went to visit

Burnside to determine what could be doneon the Union left (he agreed to support

Burnside with parts of 5th Corps, but with

the caveat that these troops stay east of the

creek), and finally to hold a meeting with

Franklin, Sumner and Williams at the edge

of the East Woods to determine if an attack

was feasible. Now it’s your chance to see if

it was…

McClellan for his part was bed ridden

with dysentery by mid day. If anything is to

happen, now is the time.

Options to Explore:

• The whole scenario is an option to seeif an attack on the 18 th was a workable

proposition or if McClellan was right in

deciding not to do so. Both armies are

exceedingly depleted.

• Was Lee correct in standing his ground

on the 18th, or should he have withdrawn

on the night of the 17 th? Ignoring the matter

of McClellan’s timidity, did he correctly

assess the remaining potential of the Army

of the Potomac or did he risk it all in a

foolish gamble?

Reinforcements: Use Confederate Order of Arrival


Designer’s NotesArtillery

In Line of Battle , I have chosen to use

the commander’s names to identify batteries

for both sides instead of state and battery

numbers. This generally allows readers

of the histories an easier time in tracking

which unit is what.The game shows the artillery

organization of the time for both armies.

The Confederates have developed

“Artillery Battalions” (to various degrees

of effectiveness as seen in 3.11) and while

some are attached to specific divisions, the

balance is owned at the Army level. This

results in a slightly more cumbersome

structure, as the army commander is

technically the only one who can order them

to deploy (this is mitigated by the free-lance

nature of Jackson and Longstreet). This will

change in 1863 so that the reserve battalions

will be part of each infantry corps, reducingthe limited army HQ’s span of control to

more manageable levels.

At this stage in the development

of the Army of Northern Virginia, the

organization of the army’s artillery is a

complete nightmare. So much so, that even

the Confederates—noted for their ability to

tolerate the most bizarre organizations—

decided to completely reorganize the ‘long

arm’ in October, 1862.

There seems to have been some confusion

as to the role of the artillery battalion

commander (as either a rear area administrator

or a tactical battlefield leader controlling his

guns). This, by itself, is difficult to understand

since the purpose of the artillery battalion

organization was to wrest field control of the

artillery from the infantry generals and place

it under better trained hands.

Importantly for students of the battleand campaign, much of this post-battle

reorganization is reflected in the Official

Records Order of Battle. Fortunately, research

work done in the 1990’s and beyond has gone

far to untangling this knot. I’m specifically

in the debt of Joseph Harsh whose ground

breaking work valiantly tracked down almost

every one of these little units and the excellent

work of Paul Chiles, Curt Johnson and Richard

Anderson for bringing Major Joseph Hanson’s

landmark research of the 1940’s into plain

view.

The Union, crippled by the disaster of

2nd Manassas and the emergency of protectingMaryland, has moved backwards from the Hunt

reforms which were starting to take root during

the Peninsular Campaign. The Union artillery

was arranged on the march from Washington

with batteries allocated to the infantry

divisions. While this is an improvement from

the distribution to brigades in 1861, it still

disperses the guns too much. The “chiefs of

artillery” in the divisions do not have enough

“rank horsepower” to override the infantry

commanders and allow the guns to be used

more effectively. The one exception is Hays

and the Army Reserve artillery, which is shown

literally in the game.

Of special note are Robinson and

McGilvery’s Batteries (12th Corps). These two

batteries did not participate in the battle as they

were personally positioned by McClellan’s

staff to guard the Upper Bridge. As such, not

much information on them was recorded. In

the classic Artillery Hell the units are given two

different armaments: in the 1940 Hanson report

tables give the batteries 20 pounder Parrott

guns (!). In the text body, however, they are

given various mixes of Napoleon and Rifled

guns. Thanks to the efforts of Curtis Baer at

the National Archives in locating the actualordnance department reports from late 1862,

Robinson is shown here with six Napoleons

and McGilvery with one 24# Howitzer and one

10# Parrott. I am much indebted to Curtis for

correcting the historical record on this point.

Players will note that John Gibbon is not

rated as an Artillery Leader in 1st Corps. An

outstanding gunner—he literally wrote the

book . He did outstanding service in helping

his old battery (Campbell’s) to defeat Hood’s





The Gamers, Inc.

charging Texans, but did not extend his influence

to any other batteries. As a result, I decided to

not grant him Artillery Leader status.

Typically, LoB designs combine the gun

types of the batteries within a given command

to give more uniform units. Since even later in

the war, Confederate artillery still manages to

field batteries sporting up to three very different

gun types (even when looked at from the gamelens that says multiple models of rifled cannon

are only called “R” guns). This proclivity is

even worse here and I originally intended to

show the actual gun types quite literally using

section sized artillery units. Unfortunately,

this was found to be too cumbersome to play.

Reluctantly, I chose to consolidate them in the

normal fashion (within commands) and to treat

some “L” guns as “H”.

Kelly’s HeroesThis is Lloyd’s Battery in Walker’s

Division. These guys almost managed to miss

the entire campaign by being forgotten. The

Civil War version of Oddball’s Sherman platoon

in Kelly’s Heroes . Even after being kicked over

to Sharpsburg by Lt. Col. Cutts (notably, not

their commander), who aroused them from

their sleep and demanded they move forward

with his column before they got overrun by the

Union army (Cutts himself discovered that the

Rebel army had withdrawn without issuing him

orders to follow). Once arriving near the West

Woods, Cutts deployed his guns and ordered

Lloyd’s Battery to march south to link up with

Walker’s Division. They never made it and

managed to spend the day of the battle ‘lost.’

As far as is known, the unit never fired a shotin the campaign but still managed to lose their

third gun (a 6-lb) by breaking its axle.

BeesOne of the popular anecdotes of the battle

relates the story of the 132nd Penn Rgt (some

sources list the 130th Penn instead) and its first

battle, with the bees on the Roulette Farm. The

green regiment ran into the bees on the march

toward the Sunken Road. While interesting

from a human interest point of view, the bees

had no real effect on the unit in battle. They

are ignored here.

Where is “So-and-So”?Given the confusion resulting from the

inclusion of a later Order of Battle in the

Official Records, a number of units might be

omitted here that students of the battle might

question. In this section, I will attempt to list

all such units so you can see where they were

as is best known at this point.

Army of the Potomac1st Corps

D/1 Penn Light Artillery (Hall).This unit

is shown in both the 1st Corps and Couch

Division OoBs. A review of the battery

logs shows that neither is correct, it was

at Edward’s Ferry, MD during the battle

and for a period thereafter.

G/1 Penn Light Artillery (Amsden). At

Washington D.C.

16 Maine. Some distance north of the

battlefield on RR Guard duties.

5th Corps

14 NY. Left behind to guard prisoners

when Morell’s division marched to link up

with the army on the morning of the 17 th.

6th Corps

C/1 Penn Light Artillery (McCarthy). At

Washington DC, joined the army 14 Oct

1862.

9th Corps

L/2 NY Light Artillery (Roemer). This

unit is not in the O.R. list, but was there.

6 NY Cav. 8 companies of this regiment

probed toward the Antietam Furnace

(some distance south of the game map at

the confluence of the Antietam and the

Potomac). It did not participate with the

rest of the corps.

Gilmore, Harrison, and McClellan

Dragoon Cav Companies. These small

cavalry units were used as couriers and

not engaged as consolidated units during

the battle. The McClellan Dragoons were

originally called the “Chicago Dragoons”,but the name was changed when their

enlistments ran out and only about 50 men

remained on duty. Frequently, the unit gets

mentioned with its old name.

L&M/3 US Artillery (Edwards). Not

engaged at Antietam. Location assumed to

be off the left flank of 9 th Corps, but there

is no record of where.

12th Corps

5 Conn. This unit was detached at

Frederick, MD.

Zouaves d’Afrique (Penn). This unit

had no officers and its men were attachedto the 2nd Mass Rgt.

29 Ohio. Detached from the army, 9

Sept 1862.

109 NY. Detached from the army, 13

Sept 1862.

Cavalry

8 NY Cav. Arrived at Williamsport

(north of the map) on the evening of the

18th, too late for the game.

1 Maine Cav. At Frederick MD.

3 Penn Cav. Behind 1st and 12th Corps

doing provost duty.

Army of Northern VirginiaLongstreet’s Command

Dolby’s Cavalry. This unit serves as HQ

Guard and couriers here, not as a formed

unit.

Phillip’s Legion. Ignored in the O.R. Order

of Battle. This unit was identified by the research

of Kurt D. Graham.

3 SC Bn.Also ignored in the O.R. Order of

Battle. This unit was discovered when finding

the Phillip’s Legion. It also appears in the OoB

in Sears’ Landscape Turned Red. That said,

you still won’t find it as a counter here as the

battalion fought with an initial strength of 17

officers and men!

11 Ga . Half of this unit is at

Martinsburg.

“Hood’s Straggler Brigade”.This phantom

unit is only known because of the recollections

of J. S. Johnston (a courier for Evander Law)

in an article written in 1880 for the Southern

Historical Society Papers. He claimed that after

Hood’s division was decimated in the morning

fighting, he marched to the rear, collectedseveral thousand (!) stragglers, formed them

into regiments and marched them to the front

under the watchful and proud eye of General

Lee himself who had some stirring words for

them. Nice story—a little too nice. Hood makes

no mention of this in his report or memoirs. He

reports that he marched his command back to

replenish ammunition and then returned to the

Dunkard Church area for the rest of the day.

All the other reports from commanders in his

division stated the same thing or didn’t even

mention that. Nobody took note of bringing

more troops back from the ammunition trains

than they started with in the morning. No one,including Lee, mentioned observing this ad hoc

formation pass in review nor the stirring words

he allegedly spoke to them. It is my opinion Rev.

Johnston embellished his account for reasons

known only to him and this “unit” never really

existed.

Jackson’s Command

Black Horse Cavalry. These men, Co. H, 4

Va Cavalry typically served as Jackson’s HQ

Guard but at the Battle of Sharpsburg, they

were employed as couriers only.

Cobb’s Legion Cavalry. This small unit

(50 men or less) was technically attached toHampton’s Cavalry Brigade, but acted as A.P.

Hill’s HQ Guard and couriers.

White’s Cavalry. This unit will become

the 35 Va Cavalry Battalion (aka “White’s

Comanches”) after the battle. It served as an

HQ Guard and couriers, not a formed unit.

Balthis Va (Garber) Battery. I included this

unit as Carmen shows it as at the battle and

numerous observers claimed it fired the first

Confederate artillery shot of the battle. Jubal

Early’s report, however, specifically identifies

it as being at Harpers Ferry during the battle






jobs. The Confederate ones are represented

(together with other troops) in the Ad Hoc

regiments the player can form.

Smooth-Bore MusketsYou’ll find quite a few units in both

armies, but especially in the Army of

Northern Virginia, still carrying smooth-

bore muskets of one type or another at the

battle. This might be a little surprising, but

this is the result of the army headquarters

not wanting to play loosely with important

captures.

For example, thousands of rifled small

arms were captured at 2nd Manassas just

before this campaign began, enough to re-

equip all or most of the army. Rather than

“just handing them out”, these arms were

stacked along the side of the roads so that

details left behind could collect them and

ship them to Richmond for inspection and

inventory. Many of these weapons were still

standing stacked along those roads when

the Battle of Antietam occurred. Lee even

wrote Jefferson Davis concerned that these

weapons might be re-acquired by the Union

forces.

A second major stash of small arms

was captured at Harpers Ferry and, again,

no haphazard re-issue was allowed. Very

few of these weapons were available at

the battle. This was not true for some

artillery. A frantic effort was made to re-

equip Confederate artillery units with fresh

cannons from the Harpers Ferry arsenal.

In the confusion, caissons and guns were

miss-matched and the effort came to naught.

At least one artillery unit exchanged its 10lb Parrots for 3 inch Ordnance Rifles and

used them at the battle.

Minor Sharpshooter

UnitsThe Union army at this point had

several company sized Sharpshooter units

sporting privately procured (and very

heavy) Target Rifles. These are shown

independently here as they have their last

gasp of freedom before being regimented

into the line units from their respective

states. While the Confederates will beginfull development of Sharpshooter open

order tactics over the winter ‘62-‘63, the

Union had an early lead in such formations

but allowed theirs to wither and die

without support. The excellent 1 USSS

and 2 USSS would continue to grow and

develop (enough to form a “Sharpshooter

Brigade” by the summer of 1863), but even

they would begin a downward spiral after

Gettysburg as higher commanders did not

know what to do with them. Even here, the

2 USSS formed up and fought as a line regiment

in the Cornfield, even though it was fully capable

of fighting dispersed. Here, a player could mimic

this behavior by simply stacking the two parts

of the regiment and “wasting” its Open Order

capabilities.

Too Important to Step

Down…A number of commanders on both sides had

commanded larger units in the preceding days

of this or earlier campaigns, but by the battle of

Antietam, had their more expansive commands

whittled down to smaller organizations. They,

however, could not find it within themselves

to be reduced in authority, so they left some

poor guy in charge of their unit while they held

themselves in command of that unit and others

which no longer existed, adding an unneeded

and wasteful level to the command hierarchy.

These individuals are: Sumner, Burnside,

Toombs and Evans.

The two Union commanders, Sumnerand Burnside, were wing commanders prior

to the battle and found themselves in charge of

only their own corps. Sumner used his greater

seniority to try to take charge of the operations

of the other corps operating in the north of

the battlefield (1st, 6th, and 12th). Burnside

merely acted as an additional command level

between his corps (commanded by Cox) and

McClellan.

On the Confederate side, both Toombs

and Evans acted as division commanders in the

days before the battle, but had but one brigade

under their command during it. While Toombs

busied himself as a spare division commanderin D.R. Jones’ Division, using his small brigade

and parts of others to defend the Lower Bridge

area, Evans merely placed himself above

brigade command and held his brigade as an

independent division reporting directly to R.E.

Lee (not Longstreet, his nominal superior).

To be fair to these men, their situations

were created by their superiors’ unclear use of

temporary commands and lack of instructions

ending them.

Consolidated Brigades

These are very small units and showingthem as a “regiment” more accurately reflects

how they formed up, marched and fought. It

would be incorrect to show them as a bunch

of platoon-sized independent units.

There are two special cases. Mahone’s

Brigade is shown as a regiment within Pryor’s

Brigade. Unlike the others (which retained

their brigade status in their divisions even

though forced by numbers available to march

as regiments), Mahone’s Brigade was literally

ordered to act as a regiment under the command

and being one of the batteries sent forward on

the 18th. I chose to include it based on the other

evidence. Interestingly, Early himself was not

at Harpers Ferry nor in charge of any units

there on the 18th. I suspect he merely got his

dates wrong in the report and may have been

referring to the 16th.

of another brigade. The other exception is

Evans’ Brigade (yes, the same brigade whose

commander still thinks of it as a division!).

In the morning of the battle, Evans was

split into two formations, the smoothbore

armed portion was positioned in the line

near Sharpsburg, while the rifled troops were

pushed forward as a screen on the Boonsboro

Pike. I consolidated the brigade but kept the

two rifle regiments separate so it could fightthe way it did historically.

The Bucktails (13 Penn Res,

aka 1 Penn Rifles aka 42 Penn Rgt)

There is no official Antietam strength

report for this unit. In this case, I took their

2 Sept ‘62 muster rolls (237) and subtracted

their losses from South Mountain (63) and

the skirmishing on the 16th (93) to get a final

estimated tally of 81 men.

Hill’s vs. McLaws’

Routes to SharpsburgIt is still possible to drive the routes from

Harpers Ferry to Boteler’s Ford taken by

these divisions to compare the distance and

difficulty of the terrain. We did just that. It is

10.9 miles using Hill’s route and 10.8 miles

using McLaws’ from the same point on US

340 to the stop sign on the southern bank of the

Potomac at the ford. Distances from Harpers

Ferry before the first and to Sharpsburg after the

latter would be the same in both cases adding

about a mile to the total. The Hill route is also

much tougher marching, with some one after

another “never ending” steep slopes to climb.

Hill’s route wasn’t significantly longer, but itwas much harder.

Oddly, the NPS has Hill’s route listed

as being 17 miles long (a number repeated in

numerous sources, beginning, it seems, with

Hill’s official report). It is not that far. 12 miles

is a much more accurate number.

The Union CavalryHanded down over time is the organization

of the Union Cavalry Division in the O.R. This

organization shows up everywhere (in Carmen,

on the park tablets, and all the popular books

on the battle). One minor problem: this is not

the division’s organization at the battle, butfrom the October 1862 reorganization. After

extensive research on every regiment listed in

that Order of Battle, what you see in the game

are those that actually served under Pleasonton

(disregarding provost and messenger units).

The limited number remaining does not require

the elaborate 5 brigade arrangement called for

by the October Table of Organization (which

included brigade commanders who were not

even present), so I chose to show it as simply

a large “brigade” under Pleasonton.

Furthermore, a careful look at the Third

Quarter Union Ordnance reports showed the relative lack of carbines in many of these

units. This is reflected in the armament and splits of regiments into two halves (some

allocated carbines to half the regiment while the other half made do with few or none). All

of the variations you see in the cavalry units here give a good feel for the lack of uniform

equipment and training in the Union cavalry before the Hooker reforms in 1863.

Say What?!?In French’s Division of 2nd Corps is the7thVirginia Infantry Regiment. This regiment

is often miss-named as the 7th West Virginia. While it is true it comes from that area and will

be named as such later in the war, at the time of this battle it is still called the 7 th Virginia

or 7th Union Virginia. West Virginia will not become a state until June 20 th 1863.

Special ThanksI’d like to single out Jerry Axel for thanks for his immense help in getting this game

to be as good as I believe it to be. Over the course of these many years, he has repeatedly

been available to do (and indispensable in allowing) the many trips to the field needed

for research and never batted an eye at short notice requests to drop everything and drive

the three hours needed to spend a couple of days testing this or that.

Jerry, without your help, this game could never have been finished. I am more grateful

than I can say and could never pay you back for your kindness.

Union Order Explanations1) Rejoin their commands by the quickest route.

2) Move to the Army HQ by the quickest route and await orders.

3) Unless pre-game orders in effect using 2.2a, 12th Corps is to move to the vicinity of A26.25 and deploy to await further

orders. Its historical orders were to relieve 1st Corps and finish the job of taking the area w/i 3 of the Dunkard Church.

(This order becomes Attack if using the Historical Orders)

4) These 2 Corps Batteries do one of two things. If 2nd Corps has accepted orders, they can either rejoin the corps or

deploy as follows to await the corps’ arrival. If 2nd Corps has no orders (or the player wants the batteries to await

arrival), they move to the East Woods and post themselves in any hex in or adjacent to the woods.
